Ahimsa in thought.

My lonliness made me a seeker. Seeker for peace. Peace around and within me. when I through the blogs of various masters and fellow seekers on speaking tree, I get to re-assess my prorities in life and it helps me to change for the better. Few days earlier, while reading the interview of BrahamKumari ji, I read many beautiful thoughts, thoughts that can help us to improve and change for the better.

I read one line that said practise Ahimsa in thought, word and action .I realised that how important it is to practise Ahimsa in thought before we can show it in our words and action. Afterall we are the way we think. Sooner or later our words and actions reveal the true self. I am happy that after many years of trying this in my mind, I realised that now, I am fairly successful in following it in my practical life. Earlier If someone troubled me or made me miserable, I would never react negatively but secretly hoped, he/she would be taught a lesson in life by God. For the first time yesterday, I realised I no longer wish for that too.

I only prayed that the person may realise my problem and if possible correct it. Without a shred of negativity in my thoughts. I felt at peace with myself. I realised others are mere actors in my life playing a pre-destined role. I go through suffering because I have to..not because of these people but because of my own karma phal attributed as per the law of karma.

When there is a problem in the family we do get upset . But remember that after a dark night ,comes the dawn. It is the way,the natural cycle of light and darkness works. We have to go through ups and downs in life to know it's true meaning. Life is constantly changing, so does time. Nothing stays same forever, neither life nor do the thoughts in our mind. Need is to keep an open mind, learn and evolve into a better human being.

Another thing that motivates me is the desire for peace above everthing. For peace, I mean contentment. If we are not content with life ,riches cannot make us happy. If we are content then every small progress or little money can make us happy.

We must be honest in our relationships and learn to appreciate others. Accepting others as they are without being judgemental is also very important in life. As we do not live the life of others we cannot understand their mindset. However,we can stand by them and help them to understand things from a different perspective.

If we cannot do good to others, we should not harm or think ill of others. We should do what is right, be fair in our dealings and find happiness in small things in life. Life is too small to keep grudges.Learn to forgive and forget.

I have been practising these things for quite sometime and hope to continue like this till the end of my journey.My motto is to bring a smile on the face of others and people should smile, if they ever think of me. Be content , happy and spread happiness. Smile is a small curve that sets a lot of things straight in life..:)
